Visiting Saudi Arabia, Pilgrimage to Mecca? Mecca of XXX?


I went to Mecca in Saudi Arabia this weekend.  As you may know, I’m active man, and one of my strength is good footwork.  So, I enjoyed visiting Mecca… Of course, this is just a joke.  In fact, I went to the Mecca of gays, the Castro in San Francisco yesterday.

When I set foot in the Castro, I noticed that the atmosphere was obviously different (Lower Left quadrant, inter-subjectivity area).  Here is a true utopia for gays.  I was surprised at a lot of rainbow flags, many posters of a shirtless man on power poles, gays’ couples walking hand in hand with very happily, and gays’ couples hugging each other affectionately.



Fortunately (or Unfortunately?), I was not accosted on the street by gays, because I was maybe not attractive for them or I walked with a lady who was Japanese and one of my seniors from same university in Japan. 

This visit provided me the beneficial opportunity to think about my masculinity and femininity.  I really respected the mysteriousness of human gender.
